Domenico gave us a real... - Domenico gave us a real flavor of the local foods of Bologna. We enjoyed the tortellini in cones, that had a very unique flavor. The parmigiana cheese with balsamic vinegar tasting was awesome. The round sandwich in a distinctive bread with a unique marking and inside was with soft local cheese and sun dried tomatoes. So delicious. Also, he gave us a testing of Bologna wine, Sangiovese, mortadella, prosciutto, focaccia and lastly Gelato to die for.

This tour was a fun and... - This tour was a fun and delicious way to tour the center of Bologna, and learn a little about how the city was built-the Jewish ghetto, streets named for what was sold on them, towers to show how wealthy you were. And the whispering archway and the light that is lit when a baby is born! Alessandro was great!

Fun and Informative - One of the best tours I've taken in Italy. Good mix of history and food... lots of food! Bring your appetite. A highlight for me was a gorgonzola with truffle sauce sandwich. The guide was very knowledgeable.
